Ve-have often noticed. that when the price Avas low, the ;cows g dry,'-' "grass is short" and "don't make any butter to sell." Put up the price to COcts or 40cts, and.it is strange how quick the cows recuperate; how suddenly the grass grows finely, and. how much butter is made to sell. Try it. Bellicose. There has been quite a time at Ne braska City of late, sustaining the "Code cf honor," which has been done, we be lieve, to the "entire satisfaction of the parties," and no "blocd spilt." Gen. M'Lcan took offence at something which appeared in the Press and called cn Mr. Irish, the editor, for "satisfaction;" failing in which, he "posted" him. The seconds, or "mutual friends," Hon. X. II. Taylor and Major White, we see are having a "newspaper epat,"' over the affair. Taylor, in his la;t article talks, "words with bark on;" if there is any fight really on the other side, we?d think that would fetch it. X Witty Editor. "Sor.. Milleji, 'of the White Cloud Chief, has about as much fun in him, as any -one we know of .; and he manages to get it off to good advantage too.

Recently' he published a long list--of City Ordinances, from-which we extract a' couple, the following ; Qrdanenfs io make Sleajnloats .land. Sec 1."

In order to show where the Democracy stand upon this question and what is the position of our opponents we make an extract below from the correspondence of the Louisville Journal, relating to a de bate between Dr, Peyton the Democratic Candidate for Congress in the Calhoun district, Kentucky, and Captaia' Jackson the opposition candidate: "Mr. Peyton then took the stand and declared the Douglas' interpretation of the platform was correct and he for one supported him ia it. Congress has no power to pass a law protecting the Slave holder ia the Territories. It. could net interfere with it in any wa. . He . de clared that he was not an ultra Southern Democrat, but a conservative man. Capt. Jackson then asked him: "Will you vote for Douglas, if he, should be the nomi nee of the Charleston Convention?" Dr. Peyton replied, "I will," . CapL Jackson again asked: "Will you vote for a law of Congress to protect slavery m the Terri tories?" Dr. Peyton replied, "I will not.- Will you vote for such a law. Captain, if elected ?" Captain Jackson answered emphatically Vlwill." ' . The Louisvilla Democrat, remarking that it does not know how Correct this re port may be, goes on -to say that. Dr. Peyton is exactly right. -.He occupies precisely the ground the: National De mocracy have taken from the inception of the. controversy uponthis subject. ' They are for leaving the settlement of the question to the people whose interests and rights are immediately and directly in volved. Their opponents, North and South, are for the interference of Con gress. And if it was not for the power of the Democracy we should see a bitter sectional war raging between the two classes of interventionists, to determine whether . Congress should . intervene to suppress or to protect slavery in the Ter ritories, This would speedily end in the dissolution of the Union and complete anarchy. Franklin Pierce and (he Next Presidency-Reports having been put in circulation that Ex-President Franklin Pierce would be again a candidate for the Presidency, his friend Mr. Farley, of New Hamp shire, wrote him a letter on the subject. Mr. Pierce responded from Italy,: noticing the report thus : T can: not speak, with any certainty as to the period of our return, whether it be earlier or later, you may be quite. sure that I shall, under no possible circumstances, consent to the use of rn5 name in a man ner calculated to disturb the tranquil pur suits which alone pertain to the life of a private citizen. v - - . . ' Your friend" V FRANKLIN -PIERCE. TIox. B. M. Farlet, Hollis, N. II. The twenty-sixth day "of April," 1859, will be the fourtieth anniversary since the Independent Order cf Odd Fellows be came an institution in the United States. On that day forty years ago, Professor Wildey, in Baltimore, quitted the anvil in his blacksmith shop, called a few cogenial spirits together, and established the first lodge, to which they gave the name of the father of his country, calling it "Wash ington Lodge, No. 1." ' The venerable founder of the Order in America is still alive and still takes a warni interest in the success of the orderi'-" - - The "Cuba Question. Early in the, year, when Spain was represented as being extrenftely indignant at the prospect that this government would make a proposition for the purchase of Cuba, the opposition supposed that. indig nation to be ti pnfaf positive of the; im practicability of, the scheme. The-latest news from Spain conveys the the impres sion that her anger has; subsided, and she has received our new minister with great cordiality; but it seems from the follow ing from New York Tribune that this is only another proof of the impossibility of yingjCuba.: TheTribune says:. "rhecord:al reception of Mr. Preston "atMadrid disappoints 'expectations here, and destroys what'li'ttle'remained'of ' the prospects of Mr. Slideli's Cuba scheme." That this -scheme is, impracticable is cerjainly ;a; most remarkable, deduction, capable, it seems, of being drawn from whatever circumstances that may exist. Information Relative To Bounty Land Warrants. The following: is a copy cf an important decision which has just emanated from the General Land Office: Sir: In reply to the questions propound ed in your letter of the 23d inst., I have to state : : ' . . 1. That the bounty land warrants issued by the United States are declared, by the act oi Longress approved June, o, isas, to be personal propertj. . 2. That such warrants cannot be sold by an administrator of the estate of the deceased warrantee for the payment of debts contracted by.sucli warrantee. 3. That such , warrants, when issued during the lifetime. of the warrantee, and not disposed of by him, become! if he die intestate, the property of his heirs at law in accordance with the. law of t domicil, and cannot be attached and "sold for the payment of his, debts. -If he die intes tate, see -fifth paragraph following. 4. Warrants issued after the death cf the warrantee, but upon proof filed during his lifetime, become the property of his widow," if there be one, and, if no widow", then the property of his heirs at law without regard to their age. : 5. The proceeds of the sale of a war rant, made"; by an administrator, is the ab solute property of the widow herself, or legatees, without regard to any debt con tracted by the-vjarrantee ; but the practice of this otnee has been to recognize assign ments properly made by an administrator for distribution of the proceeds among the heirs at law, after payment of the funeral and proper court expenses. (Attorney's and administrator s fees, not taxed -by the Court, are not regarded as proper Court expenses.) . : . . , -r . . 6. The rules of ..this omce require, in all cases, when a warrant has been sold by an executor,' that a duly certified copy of the will, with letters testamentary shall be attached to the warraut ; and, in cases where a sale is made by an administrator lor guardian, that certified copies of ; the I. letters of administration or guardianship shall be attached; -and that the sale has been made for the use of the heirs only must be show n either in the assignment or in the papers submitted w;ith each case - Heavy Bonds, i ' Capt.

Washington Star. ' . : .-.-. ' ; , Jlorpiij's Last Move3. ; Close observers of Mr. Morphy's style of playing chess,: state that he seldom wins the first game, and, up to the eigh teenth' or twentieth move, seldom shows any superiority over his competitor. At that stage of game, by some unexpected manoeuvre,' he secures the" advantage, which he never after loses.' He is now engaged' in a most singular tournament at the Cafe de la Regehce, Paris. Up wards of a hundred amateurs have sub scribed to give : him a dinner, but, as a preliminary measure to the act of cour tesy, they have agreed to- play together in five categories, until only one remains victor for each division, "when the five will play' with the great American champion, at odds graduated according to the strength of each catagory. : The first series' of games has been already played, and the others are being regularly proceeded wtth. -.
